Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Putting away the newspaper, Tao Ge suddenly had an intuition.

"Clockwork Girl", which has been in a stalemate for half a year, is about to have a breakthrough.

With her thoughts at this point, she felt very excited, and then she ran to the newsstand and bought a copy of all the newspapers with news reports about "Harry Potter".

Back upstairs, she sat on the sofa and began to watch patiently.

It's okay if you don't watch it, I watched it for more than half an hour.

The more she saw the end, the more satisfied she became.

I lamented that Rowling, a young woman, is capable of causing trouble. She always mentions March in interviews.

Even when the media inquired about her personal feelings, she did not shy away from saying that she fell in love with her "teacher".

"Ha, you are 10 years older, young lady, do you still want the old cow to eat young grass?"

After reading 6 such news items in a row, Tao Ge couldn't help but enjoy himself.

In the meantime, she received another call from Cambridge Press.

As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end asked, "Have you read the newspaper?"

Tao Ge teased: "Well, what? Do you regret it?"

The other person was silent for a few seconds and then said frankly: "Don't use words to provoke me. You also know that I don't have the final say on this publishing house."

Tao Ge lay down on the sofa, with his plump face upwards, and his white feet dangling in the air: "Then what is the purpose of your call? Capital pursuit of profit?"

The person on the other side was very patient: "Since we have known each other for more than ten years, can you speak a little nicer?"

Tao Ge said with a smile: "That's not possible. The only time I showed kindness to you, you didn't know what to do and rejected the "clockwork girl". You still want me to treat you better now? What a joke."

The other person was helpless: "I told you I can't make the decision."

Tao Ge said nonchalantly: "Since I can't make the decision, I'll wait until I can."

The person on the other side thought for a while and asked, "What conditions do you want?"

Tao Ge said: "It's not what conditions I want, but what conditions can you give me?"

The other person understood: "I'll call you later."

Tao Ge was too lazy to talk nonsense and just hung up.

At noon, when Tao Ge made an appointment with Luo Lin to meet and was about to tell Luo Lin to praise March more and expose March more, the phone rang again.

It was a call from the editor-in-chief of Penguin Publishing House. The purpose was the same as that of Cambridge Publishing House. He asked to see other manuscripts of "The Wind-Up Girl".

Facing the most famous English publishing house in the world, Tao Ge did not take advantage of it this time, but worked hard to mediate with the other party.

20 minutes later, Tao Ge reached an agreement with Penguin Publishing and agreed to bring another 40,000-word manuscript to Penguin Publishing.

This is equivalent to half the number of reviews that Penguin Publishing could review for "The Wind-Up Girl."

After making an appointment to meet at Penguin Publishing at two o'clock in the afternoon. Out of caution, Tao Ge contacted a barrister whom he had known for many years and a mentor from college to fight.

In addition, they also called Rowling to invite Rowling to come with them, in order to increase the weight and authenticity of "March".

We met in the afternoon. Penguin Publishing sent out two senior figures. After reading the manuscript of "The Wind-Up Girl" in person, they lowered their heads to discuss for a while and finally agreed to publish it.

At this point, Tao Ge's depression that he had been holding in for half a year was gone.

The next step is to argue. Tao Ge was originally in the publishing industry. Coupled with the help of the barrister and mentor, I was not willing to suffer at all in this negotiation.

After 4 hours of entanglement, a preliminary agreement of intent was finally reached.

When she walked out of Penguin Press, Rowling couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "The conditions are much better than those of Harry Potter."

Tao Ge joked in a low voice: "Don't be envious, I will let my brother sleep with you for one night."

Luo Lin looked at Tao Ge, looked at the road ahead, and finally said regretfully: "I can't force it."

Tao Ge laughed out loud, "Have confidence in yourself, exercise more, and try to make him have endless aftertaste after a night."

Luo Lin laughed, too embarrassed to answer.

Recalling this, Tao Ge smiled and asked, "How about it? Is Luo Lin interested?"

Zhang Xuan glanced in the direction of the bedroom and said, "I don't feel anything, how can I be interested?

Bite her might as well bite you. "

Tao Ge turned his head and looked at the microphone and said strangely: "Do you have any thoughts about me?"

Zhang Xuan said: "I advise you to be kind and don't scare me with words."

Tao Ge frowned: "Oh, do you dislike me?"

Zhang Xuan replied: "I don't dare, it's just that my teeth are not naturally good and I like tender ones."

Tao Ge said: "Do you know old hens? The older they are, the more nutritious they are."

Zhang Xuan blinked: "The old hen can only be stewed and drank soup, the meat is too poor."

Tao Ge looked at his white and tender thighs: "Chai? Why don't you try taking a bite next time?"

Zhang Xuan was afraid of this girl: "Okay, stop teasing me. If something happens one day, just go ahead and cry. I won't marry you anyway."

Tao Ge asked: "Then will you marry Mi Jian or Shuangling in the future?"

Zhang Xuan said: "Why don't you include Lilith?"

Tao Ge thought for a while and said, "Sister, I have an intuition that Lilith is not that important in your heart."

Zhang Xuan glanced at the bedroom again and lowered his voice: "A woman's intuition?

A woman's intuition is of no use except crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. "

Tao Ge laughed and said, "I've observed you. The way you look at Shuang Ling and Mi Jian is gentle from the bottom of your heart. It's a bit different towards Lilith."

Zhang Xuan asked: "Then how do you think I look at you?"

Tao Ge said meaningfully: "My sister also looks good in black stockings."

General Zhang Xuan: "Is it good to see rice?"

Tao Ge said: "My sister's voice may sound better when she screams."

Zhang Xuan raised his eyelids: "Hu Lilie, Mi Jian's voice is much better than yours."

Tao Ge said: "A nice voice doesn't mean a nice scream. I have experience in this area."

Zhang Xuan asked: "What kind of empirical method?"

Tao Ge said: "You try it next time."

Zhang Xuan sighed: "You are already 30 years old, but you are still so strong, and you have to win before you stop talking, right?"

Tao Ge said happily: "I can't help it, it's too boring for me to be alone.

You don’t know that when other men talk to me, they either deliberately try to please me because of my family background, or they lose themselves in front of me, or they are old-fashioned and boring. They are not as ignorant as you.

When I was wearing black stockings to interview you last time, your eyes were very naughty, and you dared to glance up my thighs, tsk tsk."

Zhang Xuan: "."

Damn it, I just glanced at it a few times, it wasn’t intentional, it’s just a man’s instinct, right?

He was caught!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tao Ge smiled proudly: "Sister, I wore safety pants last time. How about not wearing them next time?"

Zhang Xuan was convinced: "I surrender, I surrender, that's all."

"Ouch~, it's really boring. I was just going to change clothes and talk to you, but you didn't continue." Tao Ge said.

Zhang Xuan: "."

Tao Ge lifted his hair, explained Penguin Press's conditions, and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Xuanyi said: "I don't understand this business, you can figure it out. I believe you anyway."

Tao Ge said: "Sure, after tomorrow, I will sign a formal agreement with Penguin Publishing House."

Zhang Xuan was confused: "Why wait until tomorrow?"

Tao Ge said: "I'm waiting for Cambridge Press to come to my door."

Zhang Xuan asked: "They rejected you, why are you still waiting?"

Tao Ge said: “Because they rejected me for unfounded reasons, I refused to go back in person.

My sister has never suffered a big loss since she was a child, but she can't swallow this sigh of relief. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of Li Mei and felt sad: "Are all women so scary?"

Tao Ge said seriously: "Divide people! For example, the reason why Cambridge Press rejected me, I don't know, but you will understand.

So this face must be slapped back, otherwise I will be uncomfortable for the rest of my life. "

Zhang Xuan expressed his stance: "I support you!"
